weak spark from coil...

Here's a story from the old days.

Remember GM "unisets?" These were points and condensers built as a unit. Originals were obvious.........they had a condenser that LOOKED like a condenser



One evening a friend called could NOT get his new points to make the truck run. He said he could put the old points in and it would run. So I went down, bagged a new set of points, and went over to his place.

We screwed with that thing for I guess a half hour. I finally noticed there WAS NO condenser. Turns out the ones he took out were a "uniset" which had a miniature capacitor which didn't look like anything other than a 'regular' set of points!!!w
